when you're constantly being blasted 3 days a week at every meeting for not doing enough or for doing things that are "wrong" one's self esteem has to take a huge beating. That is why a lot of jw's are on med's or talk bad about other fellow jw's because they have such low self esteem.

I've read some pretty imaginative Fairy Tales but....
by lucifer ini must say the bible takes to prize, they are pretty creative, i mean a snake that is a devil talking to a naked woman trying to make her eat fruit, or how about a man who gets his strength through his hair (sampson i think) and an evil woman tricks him and cuts it off, anyone else feel like the bible is a good bedtime story, but now they left the borg find it hard to believe??

How Do JWs Show They're Hypocrites?
by minimus inone thing that always pissed me off was when "faithful wives" used to blame their "unbelieving husbands" for making them celebrate birthdays, exchange xmas gifts, go to "worldly" get togethers, play the lottery, etc.

it is much different to be hypocritical then it is to be a practicer of hypocrisy - jw's as a religion are a very hypocritical religion - they practice hypocrisy to a level that most do not.

Why do dubs think they're smarter than everyone else?
by MsMcDucket inhave you ever noticed this?
i mean it could be about something as simple as washing dishes, but they knew how to do it a better way.
has anyone else had an experience with a witness that just knew it all?

backstabbing, gossiping, heavy drinkers, always judging their brother on everything! a genuine lack of care and concern

What are the first things you notice when you enter a JW home?
by JH ina) you'll find no ash trays.
b) no lottery tickets laying on the counter.
c) a jw calendar in sight for everyone to see.

a jw calendar with the fake time written in it. An open cheque book ready to make their large monthly donation ( out of guilt ). The daily text on the kitchen table. And a 4 door car in the garage.

WHAT DUB THINGS WILL YOU NEVER FORGET?
by Mary innow as much as no one wants to admit it, we all know that there are things we learned in the borg that we'll never forget even if we live to be a hundred.
what is something that you know you'll always remember (despite your best efforts to forget!
for me, it's matthew 24:14 and the names of the three hebrews thrown into the firey furnace (shadrach, meeee-shack and a-bed-we-go)

Do JW meal-time prayers make you squirm???
by kid-A ini see my jw family all the time, of course, since i am not a jw, not religious at all, i am always a little uncomfortable when my dad begins the "thank jehovah" for the food routine before we start eating.
of course, i just go along with it to make them happy and not rock the boat.. my question is, for all ex-dubs, whether you are atheist or still believe in god, does it make you uncomfortable when they "thank jehovah" for the meal (when you know what they really mean is we thank the watchtower corporation for the food before us!!
do you just bow your head and say amen, even though the prayer is directed to the wts???

Talk about saying the same things over and over again. Did anyone ever really listen to any jw prayer on a regular basis. I would find this to be impossible. So dull and boring

Name Some Double Standards of Jehovah's Witnesses
by minimus inhere's one: a jw cannot lie ' liars are subject to the "second death".
but if you "lie" for the interests of the organization, suddenly it's not a "lie" after all!
because the opposers are not "entitled" to know.
